Waterford on Main Beach

Waterford on Main Beach is a beachfront apartment stay in Main Beach, positioned directly opposite the beach and overlooking the ocean, Macintosh Island and the hinterland. The property offers spacious, self-contained two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom sub-penthouses, with every apartment facing the beachfront. Floor-to-ceiling windows are designed to make the most of the uninterrupted beach, ocean and hinterland outlooks, giving the accommodation a bright, open feel suited to a longer holiday as well as a short Gold Coast break.

The location is convenient without being in the middle of the busiest parts of the coast. The beach is just across the road, while Tedder Avenue’s cafés, restaurants and bars are described as a six- to 10-minute walk away. Surfers Paradise and Cavill Avenue are a short walk from the property, and Sea World is around a five-minute drive. Guests can also head north towards the Southport Surf Life Saving Club, Southport Yacht Club and nearby dining venues. This makes Waterford a practical base for enjoying Main Beach, the beach itself and the wider central Gold Coast.

On-site facilities are geared towards spending time at the property as well as exploring the area. There is a heated swimming pool, heated spa and plunge pool, steam room, full-sized tennis court with night lighting, gym and outdoor shower. A riverside jetty is available for fishing or boat pick-up and drop-off, and the cabana has an entertaining area with three barbecues. Riverside picnic tables, sun lounges, free unlimited Wi-Fi in the apartments and around the facilities, complimentary secure basement parking and on-site managers add useful everyday conveniences.

The self-contained format makes the accommodation particularly suitable for families, couples travelling with extra space, and small groups needing separate bedrooms and cooking facilities. The larger three-bedroom sub-penthouses provide another option for guests wanting more room, while the beachfront setting can also suit a relaxed solo stay. Waterford has a strict no-party policy and does not accept Schoolies or school-leaver-age bookings, so it is better suited to guests looking for a quieter coastal base. Direct bookings may include savings and no credit-card surcharge, according to the venue’s website, with flexible cancellation offered when booking directly.
